The correct answer is

Ornithology

The problem involves finding a term that has a similar relationship to "Birds" as "Cytology" has to "Cells".

In this analogy, "Cytology" is the study of "Cells". Thus, we need a term that represents the study of "Birds".

OptionField of Study
OdontologyThe study of teeth
MycologyThe study of fungi
